      went to read up on it and not suprised. Cousins friend of a friend went to Korea for vacation once and was raped on her trip there. Grew androphobia because of the incident.

      if youre female in South Korea, please try avoiding going to clubs and parties, especially if you dont have a person to watch over you.

      I only recently learned of this and found it fascinating to read about. This shows just how broken a society it is, this is like the mouse utopia experiment all over again.

        it’s a feminist movement, in backlash to misogyny and pro-natalism in South Korea (it’s becoming more widespread, though). The 4Bs are the “four no’s”:

        • no dating men
        • no sex with men
        • no marriage with men
        • no childbearing

        It gets a lot of pushback and is called selfish etc. but women are very angry & upset that the government only sees them for their reproductive use, and it’s reasonable to not want to date someone who doesn’t view you as human.

            That’s a pretty scary thought right? Like I’m not saying you are advocating this view, but there’s sort of an undertone there of “don’t withhold your body from us or well take it by force”. Again, you could just be making an objective prediction, and I don’t want to imply otherwise, but if someone thinks that a spike in rape cases is an appropriate consequence to this movement (and you would think there would have to be for your prediction to come true), I hope that person/persons can have a good wank followed by some deep self-reflection on their views towards women

            Lol rape is already extremely common (and EXTREMELY underreported) in SK and Japan. There’s an awful deeply integrated stigma against women rejecting or reporting sexual assault, they’re possibly the most sexist societies in the first world.

            You’re not convincing anyone with threats of “if you don’t give us sex we’ll rape you”
